I first began studying piano at the age of 9, and continued studying on and off at both the private and college levels for about 20 years. I added private voice lessons when I turned 13, and entered a two year Actor’s Training Program after graduating from high school, where I met the voice teacher I studied with for the next 10 years. I briefly studied opera at CSU Sacramento, and made my professional opera debut at Sacramento Opera’s production of Madama Butterfly. I first began teaching about 7 years ago, and love inspiring and guiding young musicians. I’ve taught piano to students as young as 4, and have worked with students up through the intermediate levels. I work with voice students aged 8-99 in a variety of styles, including country, contemporary, music theater, and classical. I am a firm believer that anyone can learn to sing.
